Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 4 (ADNI4) is a study to help understand Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The study looks at how the brain changes over time in people with different levels of memory and thinking abilities. It checks many different things, such as brain scans, blood tests, and memory tests.
People aged 55-90 can join the study. There are three groups: 1) cognitively normal, 2) mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 3) dementia (DEM). The study takes place in the USA and Canada, with 1,150 participants. It lasts up to 5 years, with participants having regular brain scans like MRI and PET, blood tests, and memory tests. The study does not offer any treatment, but it helps scientists learn more about AD.
Key Points:
- The study lasts up to 5 years and includes regular visits for tests.
- No treatments are given during the study, it is for research purposes only.
- Participants must be between 55-90 years old and meet specific health criteria.
